lasagna casserole

tortiglioni. this pasta is so fun.

 

but for some reason when you google it, you find this pasta. 

 i don't really understand why pasta with the same name is SO different...

maybe only Wegman's brand tortiglioni is curly?

 pasta, ricotta cheese + Parmesan gooey goodness.

topped with meat sauce with lots-o-garlic + onions, and of course more cheese.

bake for about 15 min on whatever is convenient (i had bread cooking at 450 so i did that for 10 min, then switched to 350)

deliciousness.

recipe adapted from Rachael Ray's Lasagna Casserole. [my changes: i didn't have any carrots and used tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes]. this is by far the best "lasagna casserole" i have made. i've done the RR recipe several times before and it's been good - but i think the use of SAUCE instead of diced tomatoes really kicked it up. also, i just love this pasta :) probably my favorite. what's your favorite pasta?
